Gender perspective is imperative to formulating and enforcing a holistic, inclusive and nondiscriminatory regime of policies. As an indispensable prelude to this end, the “Compendium on Gender Statistics - 2014” presents sex disaggregated data on population, education, health, family planning, employment, time use pattern and, public representation.
The maiden compendium was prepared with the help of Asian Development Bank in 1998 in st accordance with UN standards and international practices as observed in Pakistan. The 1 update and the current one have been carried out on the same format with a bit expanded canvas. Notwithstanding almost exclusive reliance on mail enquiry, all possible efforts have been made to include the latest data available with the sources.
